Hints As,ut the Test
Household Words.

Household Words,
Children should be trained from
their earliest years to clean their
teeth regularly, and to rinse OUT
their mouths after every meal. The
best dentifrice is charcoal powder.
Besides cleaning the teeth, it acts as a
deodorizer, leaving the mouth fresh
and free from any fetid odor. There
should be no undue indulgence in
sugar or "'sweeties, A "sweet tooth
is commonly likely oon to be q s'de-
cayed TOOTH"
Tartar of the teeth is an earthy-like
inerustation deposited from the SALIVA.
If through neglect, it has been allowed
to collect round the roots of the
teeth, it should be carefully scraped
off with some sharp instrument.
1t is best to seek q dentists
aid in this matter. Some people are
so negligent as to allow sucha quanti-
ty TO collect that a whole row Of teeth
become firmly soldered together, so
that if one tooth requires removal,
the dentist finds great difficulty in
singing it out and extracting it only
A decayed tooth, however painless,
which has q sharp edge, or which,
breaking of, leaves y pointed stump
behind it should be at once filed, as
the irritation caused by the tongue
rubbing upon it is a frequent origin OF
cancer.

Frost.Bittsn Feet.

If the feet get very much chilled q
number of times, or frozen, they
should be put into tepid water until
feeling returns. When frozen they are
generally very white, all OF the blood
having been driven from the surface,
and if frozen repeatedly, become ten
der and painful. They swell with ev-
cry colder change of the weather, or
crack open and bleed between the toes;
again, the heels and large toe joints
are the only parts affected, except
q general heat and swelling, or painful
itching. The feet in the morning are
very sore;shoes which were comfortable
enough yesterday are at least three
sizes too small to day. If the large
toe Joint remain swollen for several
weeks, they press against the shoes
and form very painful bunions. A
hot borax water bath OF half an hour
with a thorough rubbing with glyeer-
ire is good. The feet should be thor
oughly dry Tor well driedl and warm
before the glycerine is applied, other
wise they will stay damp. Then put
on old loose stockings, cut off at the
ankles, aud keep warm. A prepare
ton made of two ounces OF glycerine
and coal oil, with one teaspoonful OF
carbolic acid, is said to be good, APP
